Buckle Up

Meet Buckle , “a unique insuretech startup building next generation insurance and financial services applications.”

The Atlanta, GA-based company targeting rideshare drivers is led by Dustin Walsey, who is also the president of AutoTown Insurance, according to LinkedIn.

Claiming to be the first company to focus on vehicle insurance exclusively for gig-economy and rideshare drivers, Buckle was set to go live in January 2019. Something went wrong:

According to Buckle’s site, Munich Re, “one of the major players in the insurance game,” is listed as a backer. The same Munich Re that led Inshur’s Series A round last month.

Bottom Line: “Buckle. Before anything else.™”
